Could've gone in a 2-Tone thread but this was taken from the same shoot as my post #67 - still some great goods yard buildings circa '79/80.

I'm sure I've linked this BBC Arena programme on the start of the 2-Tone 'Revolution' before but this latest link includes the start and shows brief glimpses of the old goods yard/Horizon Studios plus the Tax Office on the ring road. |

Bit of an unusual shot from FB (apols I forgot the original posters name). Taken late 70's I think looking from Henry's playing fields but in the background the rear of the goods yard offices (probably then Horizon Recording Studios) and a rare capture of the Tax Offices on exit 6 of the ring road.

I'm pretty certain that is Geoff Courtois in the foreground. |

Another goodie from Dean Nelson on FB. I'd think this is late 70s/early 80s as the signs of its use as a car park are now there but some of the old sheds still visible, though I should imagine about to disappear.

Another excellent period capture from the collection of M.Tom's shared by Nicola Smith on FB. The opposite view to ones shared earlier - Opposite the Goods Yard Offices but looking south - those Railway workers cottages visible centre left -

Graham Shaw on FB has allowed me to post this pic he took in Spring 1962 of the City of Coventry coming in to the station. Note Anarchy bridge in the background.

And another cracker from Steve Foster on FB - taken from the BT Tower (now Ramada) - Great shot of the Goods Yard and the Abbatoir! I think this would be early 80s?

Quick snap of this last night as I walked home from meeting Ben and Steve. Thanks to the Warwickshire Railways site for the old pic - it's the one intact remaining building from the old Yard that's still present (and in use!). I think its power-related (CliffB reckons they were often left as too expensive to remove) though on the old plans it was labelled as a 'Mess' office -
